Jack @ 3 months -
A small pain in my chest rises up every time another moment passes and Jack grows older . . . I can't believe he's already 3 months old!!! Life is starting to speed up and I fear we are all getting older . . . Didn't it seem like just a second ago we were all 17 and bored with our lives; yearning for it to change? Now it seems it is all going by way too fast . . . We all need to take pleasure in the simple things again, like when we were young, when all we had was our mothers arms wrapped around us and that was simply enough . . .
I am grateful for the small things and here are just some of my favorite . . .
good conversation with an interesting person, sipping wine after you’ve taken a bite of chocolate, a stormy afternoon wrapped up in a blanket, fresh sheets, a butterfly landing on a leaf, freshly cut grass, seeing the coast after a long winters nap, seeing the first firefly of the season, a book that moves your imagination, a movie that isn’t a disappointment, a letter in the mail, your honey saying a simple yet loving remark, a dog looking at you sideways, watching your baby sleep, eat, cry, laugh, smile, babble, spit up, poop, drool . . . the small things are what matter most and this small thing named JACK is all mine to love . . .
